The AMX-13 saw the day in the late forties/early fifties, when the French (as usual) wanted to make a toy like the other boys had of their own themselves, in this case a para-droppable tank. Bad news for them, they didn't get it: the AMX-13 never was dropped from an aircraft. Good news, what they got was a sturdy and easily upgradeable chassis for a light tank (that is still in use today in south America), that was declined in many variants over the years: scout, howitzer carrier, ATGM carrier,...

Fast-forward to 1969: The AMX-13 is by then completely outgunned by any MBT it could face (unless fitted with ATGM's, and even then). But its chassis is still the dependable little workhorse it has been for 20 years so when the French aircraft manufacturer Dassault got their first tracking radar in working order, it was selected as a testbed to create a SPAAG with radar-assisted fire control. It worked, and eventually a small series of 60 AMX-13 DCA rolled off the assembly lines. But ultimately, the French went for the Pluton, then the Roland and their missiles mounted on the bigger AMX-30 chassis instead.
